The AirTAC Airtac PLL L-Type Extended Thread Connector PLL601 is a genuine extended male elbow for push-in tube connection, rated 0 - 1.0 MPa (0 - 10 kgf/cm2) with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
The PLL601 is an AirTAC PLL extended male elbow from the resin one-touch family: it connects Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tubing to a 1/8in PT male parallel port, and the extended thread stud gives more clearance behind the hex than the standard PL elbow. Push the tube into the chuck until it bottoms out and the stainless spring gasket grips it; press the POM release ring to free it again.
This is the resin and brass spec profile, not the metal BPC line: working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure to -750 mmHg, proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature -20 to +70 C. The body is PBT with a brass stud, the release button and chuck are POM, the guide is aluminium alloy, and the O-ring is NBR. The 1/8in thread arrives pre-coated with sealant, so no extra PTFE tape is needed at assembly.

On a pick-and-place slide the cylinder port often sits in a recessed pocket. The extended 1/8in stud clears the guard boss so the hex can be reached with a spanner, and the 90-degree body turns the 6 mm drop line away from the moving carriage.
On cartoning and wrap machines, tube runs follow the inside of the frame. A Dia 6 extended elbow at each direction change keeps the line flat against the frame rail instead of bowing outward, protecting the tube from abrasion on welded edges.
A 1/8in PT tapped pilot port on a solenoid valve manifold takes the PLL601 directly. The pre-applied thread sealant means the elbow goes on without tape, and the Dia 6 outlet carries the pilot feed to a remote actuator.
PLL601 sits mid-ladder. Stepping down to Dia 4 tube (PLL401) suits thin 4 mm drops to small grippers and pilot valves; stepping up to Dia 8 (PLL801) reduces flow resistance on longer cylinder feed lines. On the thread side you can go down to M5 (PLL6M5, sealed by a gasket rather than sealant) or up to 1/4in (PLL602) for larger valve ports. A 1/2in PLL exists only in Dia 10 and Dia 12, so it is not an option at Dia 6.
Match the thread to the port exactly: this is a PT male stud and must land in a tapped female port, not another fitting. Tubing OD must also match exactly - a Dia 6 chuck will not seal 1/4in tube. If you need to pass through a panel wall instead of turning a corner off a port, the PMF bulkhead connector or PLM bulkhead elbow is the correct shape.
Quick checklist
Working pressure 0-1.0 MPa (0-10 kgf/cm2), negative pressure -750 mmHg (10 Torr), proof pressure 1.5 MPa, temperature range -20 to +70 C. It connects Dia 6 mm soft nylon or polyurethane tube to a 1/8in PT male thread, and the 1/8in stud arrives with sealant already applied.
No tape is needed: threaded AirTAC one-touch parts ship with sealant on the PT thread, and only the M5 sizes in this catalogue use a sealing gasket instead. The tube itself is fully re-releasable - press the release ring square to the body to free the Dia 6 tube - but AirTAC publishes no rated number of release cycles.
